many thanks for that! how would i go about putting in a bid or offer, or a translation! ive managed to get the idea of the page and understand it. but i dont think my dutch is good enough to ask if he'll post to the uk!
unless i be cheeky and ask a favour off some one

thanks - ben

What is a snow cap?

a snowcap is completely useless in the uk!

it covers the heater intake on the bonnet, to stop snow and such getting in the fan.
also looks rather nice!

ben

Ah right, cheers.

It's not that hard Type your email address into the field at the bottom of the page and put in a bid. Email the seller too (button in the top right hand corner) and ask nicely if he's prepared to post to the UK and accepts PayPal. Job done! If the seller speaks English, he'll reply, if not, he doesn't have to accept your bid and can sell to the next person in line ...

Tom

i was hoping it would be that simple!!
been thinking about acollege assingments to much! in complex mode!

thanks - ben

No probs!

Bear in mind postage to the UK might be quite high, and a snowcap is long ...

Tom

sent an email to him and it turns out it got broken!!

hello,

is soory but the snowhood is not good anymore.
the cat pusht it of the stair and now is broken!!
i can not help you anymore im sorry.



ben

The cat pushed it down the stairs ?



Great excuse! Must remember that one

Tom

Thats odd.
When i contacted him, he said he didnt have a paypal account and that he wouldnt ship to the uk.

I smell B and S.

My experience of Marktplaats.nl as a non-Dutch speaker is, let's say "mixed". I get about a 50% response rate when I ask a question in English, which I guess is OK (try speaking English to a French Ebay seller, and you'll get a 0,5% response rate )Then, there's no feedback system, which is not so cool for buyers, and many things are "pickup only" which is fine when you live in a small country like the Netherlands, not so good when you're trying to locate a rare part from abroad ...

But I've met some interesting people by using it, and got some nice parts too

lol i dunno how it could break falling down the stairs...

Good Luck with your 60 pyro! sounds like a cool project.

cheers guys, its on hold at the moment for uni work. and untill i can get te vbrakes on the landy fixed, it spat a seal out at a roundabout last night, was a bit of a scary todo trying to navigate a rounabout with no brakes!

also tried to swap insurance from the volvo onto my sisters polo, but the insurance company was asking for tiwwce the amount for insuring the polo. which is a 1.4 basic 3 door.
i fail to understand

ben

basically everythign is on hold now,
spent 2 days bleeding the brakes then checked the back end and have a look!


holy shit flaps
lucky escape
theres a 4mm lip on the drums, probably ready to explode,
